Refer to the following link to get a rough idea of prices in Rs. and also to get specifications of each model in detail. But remember, they are selling some with company warranty and certain ones with their own warranty for 3 months only, but it is specifically stated in their site.

if possible then dont opt for a dvd based handy cam ....neway in ur budget u wont gwet a dvd based handy cam.....but jus for the info dv tape based handy cam are much better becoz....they provide superior quality. the data does not get corrupt easily on a dv tape....while a dvd can easily get bad...the only advantegs that u get in case of dvd is that u can directly play on a player or in ur comp but believe me the dvd s even if there is no scratch they tend to get corrupted in a course of 2 yrs while dv tape will remain fine for atleast 8-10 yrs....
